Police say Nashville man shot to death during robbery

A 33-year-old Nashville man was killed Tuesday afternoon in a shooting that police said happened during a robbery.

Chad Allen Daniel, who lives on Second Avenue South, was fatally wounded near an apartment at 1330 Hillside Ave. around 4:15 p.m. while riding in the front passenger seat of a car driven by a friend. Metro police said Daniel remained in the car while his friend, whom police did not identify, went to the apartments to meet a woman to buy drugs.

As he approached the woman in a breezeway, a gunman appeared and demanded money, according to police. The 26-year-old threw down his wallet and ran back to his car.

As he got behind the wheel, the gunman went to the passenger side and demanded money from Daniel. The driver said he tried to pull away but that shots were fired into the car.

Daniel was fatally wounded, police said.

The driver drove to the corner of Wedgewood and Beech, where he saw a police officer working a traffic assignment and asked for help.

The gunman is described as a black man with dreadlocks and teardrop tattoos on his face. He is approximately 5-feet, 7 inches tall, weighs about 140 pounds and was wearing a black shirt at the time of the incident.

Anyone with information about the incident can call the Metro police at 862-8600 or Crime Stoppers at 74-CRIME.
